Abstract

Formation control problems for linear multi-agent systems with switching and directed topologies are investigated. A consensus based protocol is constructed using local neighboring information. An algorithm consisting of three steps is presented to design the formation control protocol. The stability of the proposed algorithm is proven using the piecewise Lyapunov function theory. It is obtained that the predefined time-varying formation can be achieved by the linear multi-agent systems with switching directed topologies if the given time-varying formation belongs to the feasible formation set and the dwell time is larger than a positive threshold. A numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
